Children of the Corn
Of all the Stephen King properties, freaking Isaac is the face that launched a thousand sequels. Children of the Corn—not to be confused with Sharks of the Corn—was a 1984 horror film starring Peter Horton and Linda Hamilton as travelers who find themselves trapped in a town with prone-to-murder children led by a religious zealot named Isaac. There have been 11 movies in the series, which include sequels, prequels, and soft remakes. The most recent was 2020’s Children of the Corn prequel, which garnered some controversy because it was filmed in Australia during the height of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
